quote from some asshole
"A perfect vacuum with a gaseous pressure of absolute zero is a philosophical concept that is never observed in practice, not least because quantum theory predicts that no volume of space is perfectly empty in this way. Physicists often use the term "vacuum" slightly differently. They discuss ideal test results that would occur in a perfect vacuum, which they simply call "vacuum" or "free space" in this context, and use the term partial vacuum to refer to the imperfect vacua realized in practice."
peace.

yes this is true. but its done now and we all know the philosophical implements of what i am saying.

So perhaps nothingness is only a philosophical construct, never existing in reality.
Your analogy of 1+1=2 is wrong in universal constants. Since we know that matter cannot be created or destroyed. 1+0=1 would be more accurate to the universe always existing.
It's true that people want to look for a more reasonable (or mystical) explanation to why or if the universe was created or not.
Although when you sum up all of existence into one equation, you are basically saying EVERYTHING can be summed up through math. Which is just a made up way of dealing with arbitrary quantities. Like we say an apple equals 1, another apple added to that equals 2, which is simple enough when generalizing what an apple is. But trying to equate 1 with the entire universe and everything in it, that's a little too much.
Just wanting to simplify things does not make them simple.

exactly, i dont think "nothing" exists here in the universe we call home.

its not cheating, its called using tools and methods to help us understand these things. and I didnt say anything about 1/x as x approaches a million, i said as x approaches infinity.
in other words, 0= 1x10^-∞
that would be 0.00000000000000000000000000(infinite amount of zeros before you reach the one.) that is, for all practical purposes, zero.

but why not just say 0 then.

Exactly.
Not in any sense beyond that mentioned by spidergoat.
Interesting, we have come to an agreement.
...peace
it would seem so .

because using 0, i cannot apply the methods of calculus and limits..... using a function 1/x i could...
but 0 represents non existence best to our current understanding, 1/x does not.

how does it not??
if 1/infinity = 0 and 0 represents non existence, then 1/x represents non existence...
basic syllogism...
if 1/infinity = 0 and 0 represents non existence, then 1/x represents non existence...
basic syllogism...
While it may have the form of a syllogism, it's incorrect.
You haven't instantiated "x".
